Isn't there always more than was reported?

Oh, I'm sure. But juries are filled with moms and dads, too.

This case was heard in Washington County court. Washington County Oregon is just west of Portland and the population is fairly family oriented. I live in this county and I was called once to jury duty. I was dismissed because the defense attorney was a personal friend of mine. Darn it. It was a murder trial and I really wanted to see my buddy in action.

Allegedly. Due process only works if it applies to the most vile, too.

I agree, and was being a bit snarky. I'm not saying he didn't deserve due process. Just that he seems to have gotten it to the best of our (society's) ability.
